“People think, increasingly it appears, that we shouldn’t be doing this. Well, let me start by saying we haven’t lost a single American in this war,” McConnell said. “Most of the money that we spend related to Ukraine is actually spent in the US, replenishing weapons, more modern weapons. So it’s actually employing people here and improving our own military for what may lie ahead.”

Sigh....putting up with your nonsense

What I see here is Russia with 830,900 active soldiers, which seems about right. Ukraine, on the other hand, shows 200,000, which is a bit of a high number as I've seen half that. Putin didn't send his whole army at the outset thinking it would be a lot easier than it was. He has now. Ukraine didn't have the equipment for all of its army at the outset but they are closer now. No 5 to 1, sorry.
